The amount of floor hazards that go unnoticed on a daily rate are astounding. Improper floor maintenance, lackluster cleaning procedures, numerous trip hazards; the list goes on and on. And the worst thing? Many people don’t even realize these potential hazards exist. That is, until an unknowing patron or employee becomes injured from a slip, trip, and fall.

Certified Walkway Safety Auditing

Luckily, Moore Engineering Services is certified in identifying walkway hazards through routine Walkway Safety Auditing. Our services cover trip hazard identification, Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) or slip testing of all hard surface floor types, cleaning analysis, walk off matting evaluations, and much more! Ask yourself how you fit in:

Are you a property manager or business owner?

Why should I acquire this service?

Any property that experiences employees and patrons walking poses a risk of a potential slip or fall. As an entity entrusted with maximizing safety to those accessing the facility, knowing and understanding the risks is a must so that a plan to amend any hazards can be implemented. As well, assessing risks can decrease insurance premiums and reserve requirements (consult with your insurance professionals if this applies).

Importance of Results: DCOF, Matting, and Moore

Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) testing determines the potential of a slip and fall while walking on any hard-surface material. Moore Engineering Services relies on this standard to identify the likelihood of a flooring surface causing a person to slip. Generally, DCOF values above 0.42 are considered slip resistant under tested conditions, but there are always other factors to consider, which is the benefit of Walkway Safety Auditing.

A floor surface may test well when cleaned, but what if there are not proper cleaning procedures in place? The type of cleaning material used and frequency of cleaning could affect the slip resistance greatly, which our services help identify as the extenuating variables to cleaning are not always considered.

Along with cleaning protocols, we’ll look at trip and slip hazards caused by walk-off matting or any other misplaced objects, flooring transitions and thresholds that may go unnoticed. When working in the same space daily, it is easy to overlook potential hazards that employees become used to until it is too late.

By bringing in our team with fresh eyes and industry expertise, we guarantee detailed results to help you move forward with a plan to protect your company against potential accidents. We offer complimentary consultations via phone at 856-437-7900 or through the contact form below.
